Discovery demanded in sex case

An attorney for a Bradenton Beach man set for a mid-February trial for pornography is demanding the state turn over its evidence in the case.

Joseph Edmund Chiquet, 34, of the 500 block of Gulf Drive South in Bradenton Beach, was arrested July 14 for allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a minor.

Chiquet’s attorney, public defender Adam Tebrugge, argued in court papers earlier this month that he demanded discovery in the case July 23 and “as of signing this motion, no discovery has been provided by the office of the state attorney.”
